试论希腊古典时期宗教的人本主义

On the Humanism in Religion in Classical Greek Period

希腊古典时期摆脱了早期的原始信仰,建立了完备的宗教体系。这一时期的希腊宗教由于其多神的特性,有着宽松的宗教生活环境,不压制人的自主性的发挥;在它的体系中神与人有着千丝万缕的联系。宗教诸神的性格特征,生活习惯和凡人都相同。在求助于神以后,很多事情的最终决定权还是由凡人自己来决定,体现了对人的作用的重视。人的作用的发掘为后来欧洲近代的文艺复兴和启蒙运动提供了思想武器。

In the classical Greek period,people have broken away from earlier primitive beliefs and have adopted a complete set of religion.The religion in this period is polytheistic,with loose religious environment and is not repressive to people＇s initiative.In this religious system,gods are related with human beings in many ways.Their characters,living habits are similar to ordinany people.After praying to the gods,the final decision rights are given to human beings in many cases,which embodies the importance of human.The emphasizing of human＇s role provides weapon in thoughts for later Renaissance and Enlightenment movement in Europe.
